Think with Morgan Housel's tools

12 Stations through Housel's two books, from the behaviour behind every money decision to the things about people that never change, ending in a plan of your own built on them.

We do not re-summarise The Psychology of Money; it has its own road. We connect two books: the money behaviour of The Psychology of Money, from personal history to compounding and survival, then Same as Ever's constants: unseen risk, calm that breeds excess, rising expectations and the pull of stories. The order is a teaching order designed by BookYol, not the author's own.

  7. Milestone

    Money behaviour, seen clearly

    The lesson your own history taught you about money is named, one result has been judged by the decision behind it, and you have written down why time, survival and a few rare events matter more than any single clever move.

    Destination: a plan built on what never changes

    A one-page list of what will still be true in your work is written, each line tied to a decision: a cushion for unseen risk, a ceiling for the calm years, expectations set before results, and the numbers behind every story.

The BookYol LetterTwo letters a week

For the road

The road is daily. The letter is weekly.

While you walk Think with Morgan Housel's tools, two letters a week widen the view: a big idea on Tuesday and a small experiment on Friday, drawn from the same shelf of books.

Tuesday

The Big Idea

One idea that challenges an assumption, explained properly, with its source.

Friday

The Small Experiment

One small thing to try before Monday, so the idea becomes something you do.
